Something you guys don't get.
You guys see the "eek, a communist".
What people in South Africa or Cuba or Vietnam see are liberators.
Than let his own people idolize him, but not the rest of the world.
I think Mandela makes Obama look terrible. He's an exact opposite of him. I wonder if Obama realizes this.

Is Obama paying rent for that space he occupies in your head?

Dude, I really am trying to help, guy.
Because it seems to me that you let Obama dominate your life, to the point where you're kind of obsessed with him, and lo and behold, the guy is going to be president for the next three years. And then they are going to name a bunch of schools after him.

I don't need a lecture from a lying piece of shit like you, so save it.
If they were to name any schools after him today they'd end up being firebombed, most likely by Democrats.

Patrick Henry said, Give me liberty or give me death.
Thomas Jefferson wrote and the Continental Congress adopted that all men are created equal, and they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, among which are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Doesnt this apply to Nelson Mandela and his people?
Some conservatives say, ah, but he was a communist.
Actually Mandela was raised in a Methodist school, was a devout Christian, turned to communism in desperation only after South Africa was taken over by an extraordinarily racist government determined to eliminate all rights for blacks.
I would ask of his critics: where were some of these conservatives as allies against tyranny? Where were the masses of conservatives opposing Apartheid? In a desperate struggle against an overpowering government, you accept the allies you have just as Washington was grateful for a French monarchy helping him defeat the British.
Finally, if you had been imprisoned for 27 years, 18 of them in a cell eight foot by seven foot, how do you think you would have emerged? Would you have been angry? Would you have been bitter?
Nelson Mandela emerged from 27 years in prison as an astonishingly wise, patient, and compassionate person.
He called for reconciliation among the races. He invited his prison guard to sit in the front row at his inauguration as President. In effect he said to the entire country, If I can forgive the man who imprisoned me, surely you can forgive your neighbors.
Far from behaving like a communist, President Mandela reassured businesses that they could invest in South Africa and grow in South Africa. He had learned that jobs come from job creators.
I was very privileged to be able to meet with President Mandela and present the Congressional Medal of Freedom.
As much as any person in our lifetime he had earned our respect and our recognition.
Before you criticize him, ask yourself, what would you have done in his circumstances?
